Review:

Whoever thought this movie was a good idea needs a severe beating. The plot gets so twisted at the end, it's impossible to tell who is on who's side. The less said about the acting, the better. In all of the movies I've seen Owen Wilson in, he is usually no more than adequate, but the acting in I Spy is bad, even for him. The only plus to this movie is that Eddie Murphy's character, as annoying as he is, isn't quite as annoying as Chris Tucker's Ruby Rhod (Fifth Element). If you like any of the actors in this movie, or if you just blindly love any spy movie, then see it, otherwise, don't bother.

My Rating:
2/10
